Free distribution of reusable menstrual products

Why reserve a reusable menstrual product? Test this type of reusable menstrual product: discover the many advantages that panties or cups can bring you: comfort, safety, efficiency, ease of use and adaptability to active and sporting life, discretion, ... Get an extra product free of charge if you already use panties or cups regularly. Consume ecologically and sustainably: using this type of reusable product reduces the amount of plastic waste and further protects the environment. This "sustainable" investment also allows you to reduce your budget in the medium and long term. How to make a reservation You reserve a menstrual product of your choice (panties or cup) via the specific form that will soon be accessible on your BVE.Please note: if you have already reserved a product in academic year 23-24 and have not come to collect it, your reservation will not be taken into account You come to the Arsenal - on Monday March 31, Tuesday April 1 or Wednesday April 2 between 11am and 3pm - with your student card and ID to collect the product you have reserved.
